Association of Blood Donation Volunteers (ABDV)

The Association of Blood Donation Volunteers (ABDV) is a non-profit organization that has worked in partnership with Héma-Québec since its creation 1998. This association, the first of its kind in North America, is a key link in Quebec’s blood supply chain. For more than 20 years, the Association of Blood Donation Volunteers (ABDV) has worked tirelessly to recruit a new generation of blood donors. With help from more than 750 volunteers spread over 13 divisions across Quebec, the mission of the ABDV is to encourage donors to give blood, platelets, plasma, stem cells and mothers’ milk, as well as recruiting new donors in partnership with Héma-Québec. Hundreds of information kiosks are organized every year by volunteers across the province to raise awareness about the different types of donations.

 Since 2013, the Association of Blood Donation Volunteers (ABDV) has greatly contributed to the education and recruitment of plasma donors by deploying teams of volunteers to every area where a Salon PLASMAVIE is happening.

 An important and involved partner of Héma-Québec, the ABDV is funded completely by the Foundation. Thanks to its huge provincial network, the ABDV also helps with fundraising activities by supplying Héma-Québec with volunteers for certain fundraising events, such as the popular Ride for the Cause.

 Every year, the ABDV organizes multiple fundraising activities, such as a fruitcake sale and a solicitation campaign directed at its members, and part of the proceeds are donated to the Héma-Québec Foundation. 

 We are very proud to support the activities of the ABDV, who do so much to increase the reach of our cause in Québec!

Over time, many companies have become members of the Foundation’s Circle of friends. Some of them have been supporting us for many years and in many ways: donations in response to our annual corporate mail campaign, event sponsorships and major gifts in support of innovative projects close to their hearts. We can’t thank them enough. 

Membership in the Circle is permanent. The following list (see under the section Individuals and private foundations) includes cumulative donations of $1000 and more as at March 31, 2021. Donations are listed in alphabetical order.
